Import Tips

• Verify outer sole material contact area with ground exceeds 50% rubber/plastics per Chapter Note 4(b); document material tests to avoid reclassification

• Include value declaration and country-of-origin certificates; footwear over $6.50/pair requires precise invoicing to confirm duty bracket

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'casual' shoes—sports design intent must be evident from marketing and structure
